Assistive Technology Open House

From low-tech tools to high-tech machines, assistive technology helps children of all abilities access the world around them.  With the appropriate technology, children with disabilities can more readily access their school work, utilize computers, turn radios on and off, make electronic toys go and so much more!  Technology specialist, Jennifer McDonald-Peltier, MS, ATP,  from Center for Accessible Technology, will be available in Room 114 to answer questions and help you test out different technology tools. 
Don’t miss it—you may just be surprised by what you find!

Assistive Technology Open House: 
The resource lab will be available to drop-in visitors
from 12:30 pm—2:00 pm.
